It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Ansar said: "We are those who pledged allegiance to Muhammad, upon striving in jihad as long as we live." In response to their statement, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! True success is the success of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun." In another narration, it is: "So grant rectification to the Ansar and the Muhajirun."
